Change is natural—beautiful, cathartic, necessary. But change is also painful, ugly, destructive. It’s one of life’s only constants. You can either embrace it or struggle against it. But it’s unlikely you'll ever stop it.
This collection of 29 short stories, poems, and essays will take your breath away, break your heart, and even inspire transformation in your life. Because there’s no time like the present to break out of your shell, spread your wings, and embrace your own metamorphosis.
Written by members of The Ohio Writers' Association, with audio book production by members of the Ohio Audiobook Narrators
